What is Intrathecal Pump Implant?

An intrathecal pump is used in cases where patients have not been benefitted from the conservative methods of treatment and surgery is not likely to help.

The intrathecal pump system consists of three parts: the receiver, controller and external catheter. The pumps are programmed to supply small amount of medicine directly to the space surrounding the spinal cord.

The reservoir is filled with medications that prevent pain signals from being perceived by the brain.

How Intrathecal Pump Implant works?

An intrathecal pump is equipment that delivers small quantities of pain medication directly to the spinal fluid.

When supplied in small doses, pain medications may minimize the side effects generally experienced with larger oral doses of the same medications.

A pump can lessen the pain associated with failed back surgery, cancer, or nerve pain, as well as reduce spasticity, or muscle rigidity, in patients with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury.

A trial intrathecal injection or a temporary intrathecal pump is usually performed to determine whether the medication is effective and a permanent pump is appropriate.

The intrathecal pump itself consists of metal pump that stores and delivers the medication, and a catheter that delivers the medication to the space around the spinal cord.

The pump can be programmed to slowly release the medication over a period of time, or to deliver the medication at different times of the day.
